Shaq of the MAC! Sounds like he has an interior Fortson like mentality

This guys rebound numbers are pretty impressive, pulled down 26 boards one

Sounds bigger and better than Eric Williams.  I like the undersized, more
mobile, feisty PF types and this is evidently one of them.  Sounds like Sam
Clancy of USC last year.  If he sticks, I can see him being a good #10
player or so.  Certainly, Bruno and Walter should worry about PT with an
experienced PF around.  Cheers, Gene
